Chalk the Walk for Mental Health: Monday, September 14, 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. in the Park
Meet Winstead Park representatives in the Park on Monday the 14th for Chalk the Walk! We’ll be handing out free chalk, courtesy of the Boise State Athletics’ BroncoBOLD mental health program. Chalk the Walk encourages people to cover sidewalks around the Treasure Valley with positive, uplifting messages. You can decorate the sidewalks in Winstead Park, or grab some chalk to go and decorate the sidewalks near your house, or in front of a willing neighborhood business. Take photos of your work and post them with #BroncoBOLD and #ChalktheWalk.
ANNUAL NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING: Sunday, September 27, 12:30 p.m. – 1:30 p.m., Library! at Cole & Ustick
We’ll go over the events of the past year and provide a treasurer’s report.
The WPNA Board is looking for new members! If you’re interested in getting more involved with local issues, building community through neighborhood events, and staying in the know about decisions that affect our community, we’d love to have you join us.
As a board member, you’ll help connect neighbors with the city—sharing information about local issues and bringing neighbors’ questions and concerns to local officials. You’ll also help plan and organize fun neighborhood events, like the Halloween Parade and neighborhood garage sales.
Board members have opportunities to connect with ACHD, Planning & Zoning, and city officials and to have a voice in shaping the policies and decisions that affect our streets, neighborhoods, and community.
No special experience is required—just an interest in making our neighborhood a great place to live! You can nominate yourself to the board here: https://forms.gle/YpQWwDWPx32jMEph8.
Annual Halloween Parade: Sat. Oct 31, 2:30 p.m. in the Park
Join the 7th Annual Winstead Park Neighborhood Association Halloween Parade! This free family-friendly event starts at 2:30 p.m. with a costume parade around the walking loop of Winstead Park beginning near the playground. Walk the loop as many times as you want until we run out of candy! Finish your walk with hot cocoa or apple cider under the picnic shelter. Stop by the photo booth to grab a fun family snapshot. Friendly leashed dogs are welcome.
***VOLUNTEERS NEEDED***
WPNA seeks volunteers to bring folding tables and Halloween candy to the park on Saturday, October 31st at 2:00 p.m. Costumes and decorations are not required but are highly encouraged! SIGN UP TO HOST A TABLE HERE: https://signup.com/go/OaDxZNu.
Note: Winstead Park cannot provide candy for the tables as the City of Boise does not allow grant funds to be spent on food. We get a moderate allowance towards apple cider and hot cocoa. Thanks for understanding.
